HOW tho Oregon supreme court is regarded at the na
tional capital is shown in the following statement by
Will G. Steel, who has just returned from Washington:
"I found about the halls of the Capitol a feeling of re
sentment that even so august a body as the supreme court
should deem the Crater Lake National Park a local affair,
any more than that Yellowstone National Park shouldbo
so considered."
The supremo court, which went out of its way to take
tho narrow view of tho Crater Lako highway appropriation
and so put itself on record as incapable of appreciating tho
wonder nature has placed in Oregon, did more, for it vir
tually held that there was ono law for northwestern Oregon
and another law for southern Oregon and that while the
constitution could be stretched to aid the development of
the Willamette valley, it could not be so stretched when
it meant the expenditure of state money in another sec
tion of the state. The supremo court ought to feel proud
of itself.
Secretary Ballinger will visit tho lake the coming sum
mer. So will Chief Forester Graves. Both of them will
then become ardent boosters for Crater Lake, as .ill have ;
who have seen the blue waters of tho mystic lake.
Mr. Steel states that he told Mr. Ballinger that $2,000,
000 would be needed eventually to improve Crater Lake
park. The secretary assured him of his belief that such
an amount would be secured and paid tho Medford Com
mercial club a high compliment, stating frankly that had
it not been for the indomitable energy and persistence of
the Medford commercial interests that nothing further
would ever have been done, following the supremo court's
unfavorable decree.
Everyone who has not signed the subscription list is
requested to do so at once, that the work may be carried
on outside the citT with vigor.

fail.
Ninety-five per cent of the men starting newspapers
pearcd every little while, and changed
its name to Central Point Globe. The
Herald already fills the Central Point
field and there isn't call for two pa
pera. Better combine them, bettor
lor the publisher, better for the read
rs and better for Central Point.
Sometimes the paper dies when the publisher becomes
bankrupt, sometimes it passes through a series of owners,
nearly all of whom lose their investment, until the time,
the field and the right man come together.
The average writer has.no business ability. The aver
age business man no editorial ability. The combination
of the two is rare.
There are morn business fools in the nrintiucr and mib-
Vanoy Record, a weekly tap. g S than in almost any occupation. That is why,
as a class, they have less credit than other business men;
why they deserve less, and why those who give them credit
get "stung."
The average printer, working for wages, has no chance
to learn business methods. When he sttirts on small cap
ital for himself, he does not know how to f igure cost, cuts
rates, cannot make expenses and fails. The merchant
that sells goods below cost is going to fail, as is the printer.
The average publisher starting a new daily, is too in
experienced or too dense to comprehend the business laws
underlying successful journalism. Population and capital
are essentials. The greater the population the greater the
capital required.
The revenue to support a publication can be figured
per capita of population. If the population is not suffi
cient, neither will the revenue be. If the available rev
enue be concentrated into one channel, the output is a bet
ter product than if scattered into several. One institution
that pays its bills is better for the community than several
that don't.
The responsible man who understtinds the newspaper
business will not risk his capital, time and energy in a new
venture unless the population, present and prospective,
justifies it. Even then it is a matter of years, usually,, be
fore the venture is a money maker. The irresponsible,
with shoe-string capital, having little to lose, is willing to
gamble. Ho may be a born rainbow:chaser. or he may ex
pect to "sting" someone.

THE INDIANA CONVENTION.
The eyes of the nation politically, are focused today on
the republican state convention here, where, the issues of
the approaching congressional campaign are being forgjjd.
The fight of the progressives in congress against the
regulars practically opens here with tho championing of
the progressive cause by Senator Albert J. Beveridge of
Indiana.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff, the bone of contention in
republican ranks and outside of, them, will bo endorsed or
rejected by the republicans of Indiana before the conven
tion comes to an end. '
A tariff commission proposal;fayored by Beveridge will
also be endorsed or cast aside by the, delegates before thoy
adjourn.
The deliberations of the republican cdnvention hero are
expected to foreshadow tlfo issues which will bo embodied

which is so prevalent in somo parts
of the south, doctors and scientists
have encountered a peculiar preju
dice. They hare found that people
who aro not ashamed to admit that
thoy had "ground itch" or that thoy
are "anemic," becomo extremely in
dignant at tho suggestion that they
have the "hook .worm" disease. If
thoy aro told that thoy have "uncina
reiasis," which means the same thing,
thoy may be enthusiastic to undorgo
treatment.
Dr. C. W. Stiles of tho public
health and marino hospital service,
who has boon making an investiga
tion of this distaao in Florida nnd
North Carolina, Bays that us absurd
as this situation is, it presents a so
rious practical problem, nnd ho sug
gests tho use of tho term "ground
itch anemia" ns the popular nnmo for
the disease to be used with persons
who are too prond or too sensitive

Stiles found that tho disease was u
real danger, over 55 per cont of tho
school children in throe counties uf
